Glamour’s decision to bestow its Woman of the Year honor to transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner was criticized by a wide group of Americans. Much of the backlash came from social conservatives, including one Conservative Post reader who called the magazine’s decision a “slap in the face of every woman whoever [sic] stepped on this planet.”

Such right-wing critics apparently have something in common with at least a few feminist activists who insist Jenner does not represent the authentic female experience. One actress facing scrutiny for expressing this opinion did so in a now-deleted Facebook post addressing Jenner’s assertion that “the hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear.”

According to MoviePilot, Rose McGowan wrote that Jenner does not “understand what a woman is about at all,” adding that “[w]e are more than deciding what to wear” and “are more than the stereotypes foisted upon us by people like you.”

The Charmed actress went on to assert that Jenner should “f—king learn that we have had a VERY different experience than your life of male privilege.”

The post concluded with McGowan’s insistence that Jenner does not deserve the award.

“No,” she wrote, “not until you wake up and join the fight. Being a woman comes with a lot of baggage. The weight of unequal history. You’d do well to learn it. You’d do well to wake up. Woman of the year? Not by a long f—king shot.”

Amid backlash, McGowan reportedly deleted the post and has since replaced it with a clarifying statement:

Let me amend this by saying I’m happy for what she’s doing visibility wise [sic] for the trans community, and I’m happy she’s living her truth, but comments like hers have consequences for other women. How we are perceived, what our values are, and leads to more stereotyping. If you know you are going to be speaking to media about being a woman, maybe come to understand our struggles.
